Yes. But then again who would buy their planned book if it was called "Yet another calculus book" ?

The opinions of that book are not necessarily mine. I can not get by the paradox that a calculus book says calculus books stink.

"Analytical Geometry and Calculus" by Smail and "Calculus Made Easy" were the best I have ever seen.

Def: kaboobly dooist - noun

One who does lots of kaboobly doo.

Are they kaboobly doo or just used by kaboobly dooists? Do mathematicians really use Simpson's ?

Now I ain't saying these guys are wrong or right. After all what the heck could a bumpkin like me know about it?
